iBoss Enterprise is First Web Filter to Offer Auto-Record and Live Monitoring Capabilities
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 18, 2009 — A pioneering new feature on the iBoss Enterprise Web Filter now makes the industry-leading web-filtering device the only one on the market to offer the ability to record, monitor and control user desktops. The patent-pending Desktop Monitor Control and Record (DMCR) function not only takes the guesswork out of confronting Internet-use policy violators at large companies and educational institutions, but potentially reduces overhead by providing more efficient remote desktop control.
Confronting Internet policy violators without hard evidence can be a minefield for school officials, corporate administrators and HR staff, possibly leading to cause for a lawsuit. Just an unintentional click on an online ad, pop up, or prohibited application, or even a mistyped URL, can potentially give rise to a wrongful accusation against an innocent employee or student.
The iBoss Enterprise's automatic DMCR feature helps businesses and schools avoid this problem by allowing administrators to set policy-violation thresholds in the iBoss Web Filter that will trigger a recording of a user's desktop if and when these thresholds are crossed. For example, a threshold can be set so if "5" attempts to access an "adult" Web site are attempted within a "2 minute" period, the user's desktop will be recorded for "3 minutes" to confirm the inappropriate activity. Thresholds can also be set for other Internet categories or applications such as chat, file sharing and downloading.
With this unique auto-record function, the iBoss Enterprise is the only Web-filtering appliance available that allows businesses and schools this level of control over their network, while providing the necessary documentation when Internet-use violations do occur. In addition, the DMRC's monitor function enables administrators to watch and control user desktops live remotely, potentially reducing overhead costs. Already offering a comprehensive solution for SMB and large networks, the iBoss Enterprise also incorporates an easy-to-navigate graphical user interface, robust Internet traffic controls, a total network traffic analyzer and a live, real-time database feed to ensure the most accurate filtering possible.
"Phantom Technologies' DMCR feature is just one of many new Web-filtering innovations we are proud to release in 2009. As we continue pushing the envelope to make the iBoss line of Web Filters the most advanced in the industry, the DMCR demonstrates our commitment to offering the most powerful tools for businesses to protect themselves," says Peter Martini, COO of Phantom Technologies.
